About Scribomechanica

A pseudo-Latin word meaning "of or relating to tools used for writing," Scribomechanica is a place for writing instrument reviews and thoughts of all kinds. Here you will find information on pencils, pens, typewriters, and other modes of writing, a repository of knowledge I've gained from years of interest and trawling through books and websites.

I started this website in July 2014, with the intention of creating a central spot for product reviews and thoughts about writing instruments. My previous project, coolstuff4819.blogspot.com, was a personal blog where I wrote about all sorts of things, writing instruments included. The problem lay in the inherent disorganization of the blog format; seeing the latest posts was simple, but finding earlier ones was a difficulty. I indexed all the posts manually, but figured there could be an easier way. Given that the majority of my time was spent writing about writing instruments, my primary hobby, I decided to dedicate a website to just that. Here is the result!
